Colombian Federalist Party

The Colombian Federalist Party was an anarcho-liberal party in Colombia that existed from 1850 to 1936. Known as the Federalistas in Spanish, the party advocated a smaller government and more economic freedom, including free trade and a laissez faire economic policy to allow for businesses to flourish. The party, unlike other anarcho-liberal parties, advocated religious pluralism instead of atheism, and it was in favor of maintaining a strong army. The party allied with the powerful Colombian Liberal Party to form a strong electoral bloc during the 19th and 20th centuries.
